[Verse]
          G
We could pretend that it's nothing
D
Hide from this sufferin'
           Am
We could do just enough
               C
And maybe we will


[Verse]
         G
We could face the other way
D
Wait for another day
             Am
And find new ways not to say it
                C
Do you think we will


[Verse]
         G
We could make ourselves immune
        D
Play it safe and resume
         Am
Singing ourselves the same old tune
               C
I wonder if we will


[Pre-chorus]
          G
We could choose not to use our eyes
         D
Lose ourselves in our disguise
            Am
Know but pretend otherwise
           C
And wonder still
           G    D
And wonder still
           Am   C
And wonder still


[Chorus]
Am          D
What do we become
      G        G/F#   Cadd9
If we hide and if we run
Am             D
Shadows on the sun
G          G/F# Cadd9
Shadows on everyone
G          G/F#  C Cadd9
Shadows on everyone

[Verse]
         G
We could wait and see if it'll pass
      D
Never tell and never ask
        Am
Keep on hoping it won't last
                C
When we know it will


[Verse]
         G
We could hide in the night
D
Never take flight
       Am
Like a sparrow perching tight
              C
On the window sill


[Verse]
         G
We could try and deny it
D
Keep on trying to fight it
         Am
Hold the match and never light it
               C
Never feel the thrill


[Pre-chorus]
         G
We could bottle it inside
         D
Keep the lid on good and tight
       Am
But at some point in the night
                    C
It's gonna start to spill
           Cadd9         D
It's gonna start to spill


[Chorus]
Am          D
What do we become
      G        G/F#   Cadd9
If we hide and if we run
Am             D
Shadows on the sun
Am             D
Shadows on the sun
Am               D
Love's under the gun
Am               D
Love's under the gun
Am             D
Shadows on the sun
G          G/F# Cadd9
Shadows on everyone
G          G/F#  C Cadd9
Shadows on everyone
